FU Series, Rotary with Lift, Extended Stroke

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FU Series Rotary Indexing or Oscillating Unit by Sankyo America is engineered for high-speed, high-torque applications with versatile mounting options. It utilizes a globoidal cam for rotational motion and a synchronized face cam for lift motions, enabling continuous drive operation.
Specifications: The unit provides lift strokes between 20-70mm, indexing motions from 30º to 60º, and oscillating motions from 30º to 180º. It supports up to 60 cycles per minute and features a dual bearing support output shaft. Available in five compact cast iron housing sizes, it can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or inverted.
Features: Notable features include an adjustable torque limiting clutch, integrated gripper actuation response times, and multiple mounting positions to prevent interference. It is compatible with various drive options such as gearmotor, belt drive, and variable frequency drives, ensuring maintenance-free operation and electronic braking.
Drive Options: Gearmotor drives are economical and versatile, offering dual voltage options and reversible, brushless motors. Belt drives with clutch brake options accommodate frequent stop/start cycles. Variable frequency drives provide variable speed control and motor protection.
Proximity Switch & Cam Options: The unit includes timing packages for precise motor control and proximity switches for monitoring operations. Options include plastic or robust steel housings, with multiple sensors and adjustable cam/shutters.
Torque Limiting Clutch: The TF series torque limiting clutch allows easy adjustment and overload protection, with cleanroom compatible models available.
Performance: Capable of up to 150 cycles per minute with lift strokes of 25-35mm and indexing motions of 45º to 180º, the unit is designed for high torque capacity and frequent cycle rates, with corrosion-resistant and cleanroom compatible models.
Technical Data: Detailed specifications cover maximum lift height, oscillating angles, indexing stops, axial and radial forces, torsional rigidity, and input/output torque capacities. Tables for torque transmission capacity and carrying capacity stress the importance of proper model selection based on application conditions.
Specifications and Features: The document details specifications for the 20FU Oscillating/Indexing Handler, including dimensions, mounting hole locations, and oil capacity. It underscores the importance of proper maintenance and understanding capacity tables for optimal performance and longevity.
Capacity Tables: These tables outline dynamic torque, allowable load, and rotating speeds based on oscillating angles, number of stops, and lift, crucial for selecting the appropriate model and ensuring operation within designed parameters.
Torque and Load Specifications: Key specifications include static torque, dynamic torque, and allowable loads for both output and input shafts, emphasizing adherence to prevent equipment failure.
Cam Curves and Motion: The document describes cam curves used in the oscillating handler, such as the modified sine curve and modified constant velocity curve, essential for synchronized operations and special displacement specifications.
Product Range and Applications: Sankyo offers a range of rotary and linear handlers for specific applications like packaging machines and assembly lines. The document details various series, including AD, DTR, ED, DU, and P, each with unique features like high torque capacity, cleanroom compatibility, and short index periods.
Assembly Machines: The document also covers rotary and linear assembly machines, highlighting the BH, IC80, and MPC series, which offer features like synchronized handlers, precision chain conveyors, and adjustable feed pitches for efficient assembly processes.
